Senior GC Hotel Renovation Construction Project Manager

Senior GC Hotel Renovation Construction Project Manager

Next Step Recruitment is looking for a Senior Project Manager with deep, hands‑on experience in Canadian hotel renovations.

We’re supporting TRIP Contracting—a specialized General Contractor focused exclusively on national hotel renovation programs—on the search for a Senior Project Manager capable of managing multiple projects simultaneously, leading both pre‑construction and field execution from end to end.

This is a fast‑paced, operationally complex role that requires someone who can hit the ground running in active hotels and lead both pre‑construction and field execution from start to finish.

• Oversee 3 concurrent hotel renovation projects (guestrooms, corridors, lobbies, amenities, BOH areas)
• Manage full pre‑construction and estimating
  , including scope breakdowns, trade packages, takeoffs, budgets, and buyout
• Build and maintain detailed phasing and sequencing plans aligned with room blocks, shutdown windows, quiet hours, and brand expectations
• Lead kickoff, milestone reviews, and turnovers — including bi‑weekly national travel to active sites
• Work closely with site supers, trades, designers, and hotel GMs/engineering teams
• Drive tight schedules, rapid turnovers, and consistent delivery across a high‑volume annual program
• Ensure brand‑package compliance, quality execution, and operational coordination in guest‑occupied environments

This environment is ideal for someone who is:

• Hands‑on, boots‑on‑the‑ground — comfortable being on site, troubleshooting, and working directly with supers
• Skilled at fast‑cycle, recurring renovation programs (hotel PIPs, retail rollout, senior living, student housing, etc.)
• Excited by high‑velocity, multi‑project delivery rather than long‑cycle new builds
• Strong in estimating, pre‑construction, and value engineering
• Confident navigating occupied, revenue‑impact environments with room blocks, guest flow, shutdowns, etc.
• Highly organized, schedule‑driven, and excellent at structured communication

Applicants must have all of the following:

• Experience working GC‑side on interior renovation projects
• Strong estimating ownership – trade‑by‑trade scopes, budgets, and buyouts
• Demonstrated success in occupied or operational renovations (hotels, senior living, hospitals, student residences, etc.)
• Ability to manage multiple projects at once in a fast‑paced environment
• Experience with detailed sequencing and phasing

• Experience with Hilton, Marriott, Choice or other brand packages (PIPs, design standards, brand reps)
• Multi‑property or multi‑site renovation programs
• Strong MEP awareness for operational hotels (shutdowns, tie‑ins, life safety)

If you have direct Canadian hotel renovation experience and enjoy leading high‑speed, multi‑project renovation programs, we’d love to connect.
